null message blob is created in the jms_messages table which leads to PersistenceManager fail to restore queue during restart

A null blob is inserted into the jms_message table as a result of sending message (greater than 4k messages) to jms queue. The Oracle jdbc persistence manager is deployed in our environment as JMS queue persistence mechanism. As a result, when JBoss is restarted, the persistence manager could not restore queue since there is null blob in the jms_messages table (please see the following stack traces and sqlplus output):

I did a quick search and found that JBAS-2503 indicates the Oracle 4k limit problem should be resolved with JBossAS-4.0.4 GA. But I did run into the above problem with JBossAS-4.0.4 GA version.

Your help is highly appreciated.
